I promised prizes for the participants, and here is how the Finals Contest will work:

 

Pick the Top Ten as they will finish in the Final Round. Choose from 1 to 10, 1 being the champion cover.

 

Each pick that makes the top 10 but is not a bullseye (wrong spot chosen): 2 points

Each pick that makes the top 10 and is a bullseye (Correct spot chosen): 4 points

Each pick that does not make the top 10: -1 point

3 Bullseye bonus: 2 points

4-5 Bullseye bonus: 5 points

6-7 Bullseye bonus: 10 points

8-9 Bullseye bonus: 15 points

Perfect 10 Bullseye bonus: 20 points

 

Also, choose the bottom 3 as they will finish in the Final Round. Choose from 1 to 3, 1 being the last place cover.

Each pick that makes the bottom 3 but is not a bullseye (wrong spot chosen): 3 points

Each pick that makes the bottom 3 and is a bullseye (Correct spot chosen): 5 points

2 Bullseye bonus: 5 points

3 Bullseye bonus: 10 points

Tie breakers will be determined by PM timestamp. If you are tied with someone else, the person who got their picks in earliest via PM wins out.

 

If you would like to participate, post your intention to do so in this thread, and I will contact you via PM when the finalist covers list is revealed. Then submit how you think the poll will play out after 2 weeks of finals voting (maybe longer if participation is more than expected). List the top 10 finishers (1 is champion) and the bottom 3 (1 is last place).

 

I will list the covers here that made the final round in this thread on Friday evening, July 8th. Semi-final round voting will still be counted up until that time to determine the finalists.

Good luck to everyone, and thanks for your participation so far. Soon, we will have a contest and cover poll champion! :whee:

 

Semi-final rounds still active until Friday, July 8th:

 

Round 5: 1972-1979

 

Round 4: 1971

 

Round 3: 1970-1971

 

Round 2: 1968-1969

 

Round 1: 1967-1968

Donated Adams prizes will be awarded to the contest winners in finish order until there are no more prizes to award. Those who are gracious enough to donate will agree to send their donated prize to whoever chooses their donation when it is their turn to pick a prize.

 

This will also be the prize donation thread. If you have a low grade Adams classic undercopy you can live without (raw or slabbed), donate it to the contest. Have an Adams poster, paperback, record album or art book laying around that you could donate? Please do so. Have a low grade reader lot? Donate it. Just post your donation in this thread along with a photo if you have one. Anything Adams related is welcome!

 

You DO NOT need to donate anything to participate in the contest, but please do so if you can spare a prize.

 

To get things started and to show my appreciation for those that have stuck around these past 3 months, here are my first personal donations:

 

First, an original art commission. Adams cover reproduction or re-imagining, fully inked and 11 X 17 in size. Your choice, any Adams cover. Here are a couple example Adams re-imaginings by the artist:

Second, a brand new Art of Neal Adams softcover:

Let's get some more donations rolling in! :baiting:

Sounds like fun. PM me as well.

 

Also, I can toss in an undercopy of Bats #227 as a prize. I will scan it tomorrow.

 

Thanks Ryan! Great prize. :golfclap:

 

It is a lower grade copy, though. lol
